CHARLOTTE, N.C. — High Point forward Arizona Reid won the Big South Player of the Year award for the second straight season on Monday in voting among the league’s coaches, sports information directors and a media panel.

Reid, a senior from Gaffney, is averaging 24.2 points and 11.1 rebounds and has 19 double-doubles. He’s on pace to become the first player in league history to average more than 20 points and 10 rebounds a game.“Arizona has worked extremely hard and deserves all the honors he gets,” High Point head coach Bart Lundy said. “He is having arguably one of the best single seasons ever for an individual in Big South history. “I am most proud of how he has developed as an all-around player on the floor and as a leader for our team.”UNC Asheville’s Eddie Biedenbach was voted the top coach after guiding the Bulldogs (21-8, 10-4) to their best record in 24 years.
